"The Turkish armed forces will hit Kurdish separatist guerrilla camps in the mountains of northern Iraq, in Qadil, Sinjar and Mahmur, if the Iraqi central government does not clear these areas." This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during an interview with CNN Türk.
Erdogan stressed that the Turkish army could strike Qandil "at any time overnight" and recalled that the Turkish armed forces often conduct operations across the border in northern Iraq against members of the outlawed Kurdish Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). (PKK).
At the same time, the Turkish President stressed that the state of emergency, which was imposed on Turkey a few days after the attempted military coup on July 20, 2016, "could" be lifted after the June 24 presidential election.
Erdogan said the issue would be "discussed in detail" after this month's snap parliamentary and presidential elections.
Until yesterday, President Erdogan insisted that the exemption measures would not be lifted until the "terrorist" threat to Turkey was completely eliminated.
